Navy court probes Thresher malfunctions before sea trial
A Navy court of inquiry at Portsmouth naval shipyard reviewed a list of more than a dozen malfunctions that plagued the nuclear submarine Thresher before its April 10 sea trial and loss with 129 aboard. Lt. Raymond A. McCoole of Dover said corrective work left crews undertrained in disaster procedures though the work was finished and the Thresher was in excellent condition when it set out. Authorities at Woods Hole denied a report the Thresher had been found. The court resumed hearings behind closed doors to hear testimony on classified information.

Kennedy warns $5B cut would cost jobs and endanger tax plan
President Kennedy told editors that a $5 billion reduction in his budget would wipe out about one million jobs and offset the benefits of a proposed tax cut. He argued carefully targeted spending supports growth and that a larger cut could harm the nation, urging continued fiscal support for education health housing and welfare programs. He tied the debate to national security and domestic needs, stressing federal funds help communities and must balance with tax reductions.
